How much do you really know about the fire department that helps keep our community safe?

In Episode 22 of Community Pulse, Mariah sits down with Kevin Douglas, Fire Chief of the St. Johns Fire Department, for a great conversation about the people, equipment, and operations behind our local fire service.

We cover quite a bit, including:

• How the St. Johns Fire Department is structured and operates

• What it takes to provide fire protection and emergency services to our community

• Updates and improvements the department has made to better serve residents and businesses

• Some of the challenges that come with providing reliable fire services

• Important fire prevention and safety tips that everyone should know

One of the most valuable parts of this episode is the conversation about 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. Chief Douglas shares practical advice that could help prevent a fire in your home or business and keep your family safe.

We often don't think much about our fire department until we need them, but there is a tremendous amount of preparation, training, and dedication that goes into being ready when that call comes.

🍁🍂 Fall in Love with St. Johns! ❤️

There's just something about fall in our little corner of Michigan! 🧡

Getting lost in the corn maze at Uncle John's, grabbing a cozy coffee downtown, admiring the charm of Nordic Pineapple Bed & Breakfast, exploring the art along the Rails-to-Trails, picking the perfect pumpkin at Andy T's, hiking the trails, or catching a beautiful sunset at Clinton County Lakes. 🌅

Sometimes the best fall adventures are right in our own backyard!

What does it take to step into a family business, make it your own, and continue building on what the generation before you started?

In Episode 21 of Community Pulse, Jaclyn sits down with Tyler Delong of Michigan Graphics and Signs for a great conversation about business, family, entrepreneurship, and giving back to the community.

Tyler shares how he got his start in the business, what it has been like taking over the reins from his dad, and some of the lessons he has learned along the way.

We also talk about something that is especially valuable for anyone thinking about starting their own business: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱?

But one of our favorite parts of this conversation is hearing why Tyler and Michigan Graphics & Signs dedicate so much of their time and energy to supporting local businesses and our community.

It's a great reminder that 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀. It's about the relationships you build, the people you help, and the community you choose to invest in.

Whether you're a business owner, thinking about becoming one, or simply enjoy hearing the stories behind the businesses in our area, this is a great episode to check out!

A big thank you to Tyler for joining us and sharing his story, advice, and passion for supporting our local community!

What a great turnout for yesterday's St. Johns Area Chamber of Commerce luncheon!

We were excited to welcome Mayor Scott Dzurka and City Manager Todd Campbell, who shared updates on what's happening in the City of St. Johns, MI and what lies ahead for our community. We appreciate them taking the time to keep our local business community informed and engaged!

A big thank you to Hill's Corner Pub for hosting us and preparing a fantastic lunch!

Our monthly luncheons are about so much more than just a great meal. They're an opportunity to build relationships, connect with fellow business owners and community leaders, exchange ideas, and stay informed about what's happening right here in our area.

Whether you're a longtime Chamber member, a new business owner, or simply looking to get more involved in the community, we'd love to have you join us at a future luncheon!

And remember, you don't have to be a Chamber member to attend. Everyone is welcome!

One of our favorite things at the St. Johns Area Chamber of Commerce is celebrating new businesses and the people behind them who are investing in our community!

Today, we were grateful to join Clinton County Incineration for their ribbon cutting and officially welcome them to our local business community!

Clinton County Incineration provides compassionate pet aftercare services, including individual and communal pet cremation, ashes return services, veterinary clinic partnerships, and small livestock aftercare.

While it's a service we all hope we won't need anytime soon, having a local business that provides respectful, compassionate care during difficult moments is a valuable addition to our community.

It was also wonderful to be joined by the Michigan SBDC an organization that plays such an important role in helping entrepreneurs turn their ideas into reality. From business planning to guidance and resources, the SBDC helps businesses like this one get started and grow. We're fortunate to have organizations like theirs supporting entrepreneurs in our region!

Congratulations to Clinton County Incineration! Thank you for choosing to invest in our community. We wish you continued success!

We love celebrating businesses of all sizes. Every new business represents someone willing to take a chance, work hard, and bring something valuable to our community. That's something worth celebrating!

You've probably driven past their facility on M21 countless times, but do you actually know what ITC does?

In Episode 20 of Community Pulse, we sit down with Breina Pugh from ITC Holdings Corp. of Michigan to learn about a company that plays a major role in something we all depend on every single day: electricity!

Most of us flip a switch and expect the lights to come on, but there's an incredible amount of infrastructure, planning, and technology involved in getting that power to our homes and businesses.

Breina helps us understand what ITC actually does, how electricity travels across the power grid, and the important role their company plays in bringing reliable power to our communities.

We also get a better understanding of the difference between the companies that generate electricity, those that transmit it across long distances, and those that ultimately deliver it to your front door.

Unfortunately, due to a lack of registered teams, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s Kick or Treat Soccer Tournament.

We were really looking forward to bringing this new event to the community, but we simply did not have enough teams registered to put together the type of tournament experience we wanted for everyone.

All registered teams will receive a full refund to the credit card used for registration. Refunds are being issued today.

Thank you to everyone who registered, shared the event, and supported the idea. We appreciate your understanding and hope we can give it another shot in the future!

If you want to know more about what is happening inside St. Johns Public Schools, this is an episode you will want to make time for.

In Episode 19 of Community Pulse, we sit down with Dr. Anthony Berthiaume, Superintendent of St. Johns Public Schools, for an in depth conversation about the district, its challenges, and where it is headed.

Anthony starts by sharing his background, what brought him to St. Johns, and what he has learned since taking on the role of superintendent.

From there, we cover a lot:

• Student behavior and what is happening inside our schools

• His vision and priorities for St. Johns Public Schools

• What he has learned about our district and community

• The decisions surrounding the Early Learning Center and why it was opened

• The upcoming school bond and what is being proposed

• Why the district believes these investments are needed

• Questions and concerns being raised by community members

• What the future of St. Johns Public Schools could look like

This is definitely one of our longer Community Pulse conversations, but there is a lot of information packed into it. 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗳𝗳 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿, 𝘁𝗮𝘅𝗽𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿, 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿, 𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻.

Especially if you have questions about the upcoming bond or have wondered about some of the decisions being made within the district, this is an opportunity to hear directly from the superintendent and learn more about the reasoning behind them.
